England's World Cup fears over Wayne Rooney's fitness

WAYNE Rooney’s season appears to be over – sparking concerns for England boss Fabio Capello as the World Cup finals loom.

Wayne Rooney is set to miss the rest of the season because of injury []

The Manchester United striker missed yesterday’s crucial 3-1 win over Spurs which saw Sir Alex Ferguson’s team leap frog over Chelsea at the top of the table.

Rooney was at Old Trafford yesterday (right) but was ruled out with a groin problem which has followed on from the serious ankle trouble he suffered in the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich on March 30. He shocked everyone with his comeback just a week later in the return leg – only to miss the next game at Blackburn.
